This event will bring together scholars, students, policymakers and the business community. The goal is to think strategically on how economic development and business affects peace, and how peace building and end of conflicts impact regional development, rule of law, and economic growth.
 
The longer term objectives of this collaborative are:
 
To develop a network of scholars on conflict resolution, economics, and regional development for peace building,
To leverage core competencies our future peace leaders can learn from both the academy and the private sector in problem solving and doing business in conflict zones.
To tap the business sector’s ingenuity and innovation in both processes and outcomes for international conflict resolution and peace.
To build a public-private partnerships to advance understanding of international peace building and rule of law.
